How it was made:

The ring was designed using CAD/CAM and initially cast in silver which was cleaned up and polished. A mould was then made of the silver ring before being cast again in platinum. A final clean up and polish and the ring was ready to be hand engraved and stone set.

Lotus Flower Platinum Trilogy Engagement Ring:

This engagement ring was inspired by the Chinese Lotus flower with a symbol of purity, to bind, connect and to love; perfect for a symbolic ring.

The ring was set with a GIA certified 0.4ct emerald cut diamond, 2 3mm trillion cut rubies and 6 diamonds grain set down each shoulder. The ring was hand engraved by Rodney Rigby.

Platinum Trilogy Diamond Ring:

The diamonds originated from a gold heirloom engagement ring. Looking a little tired but very much loved it was updated into a modern twist trilogy design in platinum.

Chinese cloud inspired jade pendant:

This jade stone had been a gift and had once been made into a ring with diamonds. I was asked to remodel the stones into a piece that could be worn as an everyday piece of jewellery.

As the jade had been bought in China, using this as inspiration seemed an obvious direction to take. Auspicious cloud patterns represent the heavens, symbolising luck and fortune, whilst repeated in a pattern symbolises never-ending fortune. Jade is believed to promote wisdom, balance, and peace.

Moroccan Inspired Pendant & Ring

The 9ct yellow gold Moroccan inspired sapphire pendant & ring:

This matching 9ct yellow gold pendant and ring set with sapphires and diamonds had been made as a Christmas gift. Inspired by Moroccan architecture these 2 complementing pieces were designed. Each piece was set with a large blue sapphire to pick out the colour often used in Marrakech’s Morjarelle Gardens flower pots.

How it was made:

Each of these pieces were designed using CAD software ArtCam Jewelsmith. Once the designs were completed on the CAD program I was able to have each piece printed and cast in 9ct yellow gold. The pendant and ring could then be cleaned up using files, emery paper and finally polishing. It is at this point the sapphires could be flush set into each piece and the diamonds grain set.

Elephant Pendant Hand-carved In Wax

9ct yellow gold elephant pendant:

This 9ct yellow gold elephant pendant was handmade for someone who had spent time in Goa, in particular, an overnight stay with the elephants.

How it was made:

The elephant was carved from a block of wax. Firstly, cutting the very basic shape of the elephant from the wax. I was then able to carefully add more fine details of the elephant using dentist tools. Once I was happy with the wax carving it was then used to be cast in 9ct yellow gold. The finishing process could then begin using emery papers and polish.
